Melbourne Storm is the best team of the NRL era.
And sorry Warriors, Raiders, Panthers, Tigers, Rabbitohs and Titans fans – your teams are below average.
Dissecting the competition tables and finals records from each season of the NRL, and applying points according to a team’s overall finish each year, it reveals the Storm are the NRL’s most consistent performers.
All 24 clubs that have contested the NRL from its inception in 1998 were graded according to how well they fared in each of the 19 complete seasons to the end of 2016.
The higher a team finished on the competition ladder and the deeper they went into a finals series, the more points they earned.
Teams were given one point according to what position on ladder they finished – eg. one point for 16th position, two points for 15th, up to 16 points for first position. Minor Premiers score ten bonus points.
